..... as in 49.5 more hours till Ryan and I will get the first glimpse of our bundle! (and that heartbeat.. <3) I can hardly wait... though I do feel my anxiety has definitely leveled off. This pregnancy just feels sooooooo different then the last. By this time (7w6d) with my first pregnancy.. I was already spotting...and the only "pregnancy" symptom I had was tender breasts. This time around I have very CLEAR pregnancy symptoms. I am nauseous just about 24/7 .. I am finally feeling like I'm learning how to manage it... managing consisting of what feels like constant eating! ;) Also, the only food I want is bland boring food (potatoes, bread, and potatoes haha) .. the thought of spices and seasonings make me queasy. Though, I have discovered an obsession for ketchup and A1 sauce! :) The symptoms are not the only things that help ease my mind.. the increase in hormones is very reassuring! The highest my HCG level ever got with the last pregnancy was 16,000.. w/ a 48hr change to 17,000 (7w5d/8w) which at this point we knew a miscarriage was in the works. On with the "good" news.. this time around.. my last HCG draw was 55,000 (6w1d) woo hoo!! The way I am feeling now.. I have little doubt that its not 100,000+ now! Come tomorrow i'll be 8 weeks.... which is a milestone in itself!
I can't wait for my next post.... big news to come! :)
